A bit of reality

I tried to contact Asif Zamir on the cell number that he gave Jakub and all of the others that he solicited this past summer. It was not surprising that it was no longer assigned. Let me reiterate that Jakub had dealt with Asif Zamir before and knew his voice well, so when Jakub used this cellphone to talk to him, he knew he was talking to Asif Zamir and not some imaginary identity thief.

What I wanted to tell Asif is that he is making a big mistake. Here he is, hiding from his creditors and hiding from the police. (The police, by the way, seem to get somewhat annoyed with people who hide from them - not to mention people who conspire to hide the person as well. In any case, from what I know, Asif Zamir owes about $3000 to $3500 total to the people I have been in contact with. Maybe there are more out there, but this is what I know. It appears that Asif thinks that not repaying this amount is worth his future. There are a few points that I think make repaying the money a bargain for Asif. Here are some of them:

1) As it stands, this blog is the first thing that you get when you Google Asif Zamir. I am not going to stop this blog until I get my money. So, if Asif ever wants to do legitimate business on the internet, he would not want his illegitimate past documented for all to see.

2) Asif Zamir cannot hide forever, and I will not stop looking. I realize that he is probably living with his mom right now, but I still have to execute the rest of my plan before getting to the point of actually locating him myself. When I do find him, I will drag him to court. He will obviously lose the case, so he will have to pay me. The only way he can get out of paying me is by declaring personal bankruptcy. If he does that, his credit is ruined for 7 years. No loans, no credit cards, nothing.

3) He faces the prospect of being charged with fraud. If convicted he will have a criminal record and he won't be able to go to the US. Not only that, but a civil case is a certainty, so he could well end up a bankrupt convicted fraudster.

So, a rational person would look at these potential outcomes and think "$3500 is a bargain to avoid this!". This is Asif Zamir's reality, and he seems Hell-bent on pretending it is not.
